Summary
In the first moments Arden Mercar saw Lucanis Dellamorte, he wasn't thinking about abominations. He wasn't thinking of the stories, the campfire tales of their destruction, their mindless rage. He wasn't thinking about danger, or even the very real possibility of his own imminent death. He wasn't really thinking anything at all, save the inarticulate feeling that this was the most beautiful, the most exquisitely deadly, creature he'd ever seen.

This is the first in a series of related short works telling the story of Arden Mercar, known as Rook, and of unintended consequences that reach across ages.

Summary
For 19 1/2 episodes, we got a beautiful, complex, and inherently queer story. Then we were meant to accept a tragedy as a happy ending. I needed to believe that two people who managed to love each other across time and regardless of gender could have another chance.

Summary
“What’s he like? The Herald.”
Cullen’s mind flickered through the moments—Samhal, bloodied and terrified before the rift, haughty and imperious as he walked though the wondering crowd. Crude and harshly sarcastic, coy and suggestive, bitter and elaborately disinterested. Reports, unbelievable but later confirmed, of acts of bizarre bravery and apparent foolhardiness.
Samhal, cowering on his tent floor, battered and pleading. And now, traveling beside him as though it had never happened.
He realized that he had been silent for too long.
“I…really could not say.”
A canon-divergent take on the story of Inquisition featuring characters from all three games and one very reluctant Herald.
